"No Pubic Option."
Pointed out to someone that the teabaggers can't even spell their racial slurs correctly.
And then they wonder why liberals seem so condescending!
I've never seen change without a fire
I prefer being patronizing. It riles them more and faster.
Hasa Diga Eebowai
:D
I've never seen change without a fire
Lambasted people who come to this country and "can't even spell the word 'vote.'" Well, his supposedly educated Tea Partiers not only can't spell worth spit, they are homeschooling their kids to do the same. If anything turns me off homeschooling, this is it!
with the teabaggers. They like to condescend too, yet they are actually imbeciles who haven't recognized themselves as such, yet.
I've never seen change without a fire
Imbeciles never recognize themselves a such. They are not intelligent enough to see their own folly.
not to put some kid's face with sign. He'd never live it down.

Mom and Dad probably wrote the sign.
"Anyone that makes less than $150K in this country, has no business voting Republican."
I feel sorry for the kids.
"Get the hell away from that textbook and get in front of the TV. Idol is on!"
NOBODY 2012
providing the third paw to proudly thrust the sign to get PalinPerry to nod approvingly in their direction. Truly pathetic.

"School" is such an "eleetist" speling...
maybe he would know how to spell school if he actually went to a REAL SCHOOL
Yeah right, dont bet on it but hey, at least he was holding up a cardboard sign instead of throwing up a gang sign. That kid is a plant for the photo op.
Public school sucks I can't even believe you try to make that "real school" statement.
our public schools definitely need improvement but this kids "home schooling" doesn't seem to be doing much better
If you believe that is for real, you need to go back to school. David is really working overtime here. You guys layoff somebody here at C&L?
the sign is real. you can tell yourself that it is a "plant" or "photoshopped" by some liberal trying to prove that tea baggers are dumb but we don't really need anymore proof to make that case.
It's a freaking typo. Sloppy? Yes. On purpose? Unlikely. Ironically humorous? You bet your ass. But it's not a plant or a photoshop.
BTW, Neiwert made a huge, Foxian typo yesterday in the headline of the Murtha death post when he identified Murtha as R-PA.. Very funny. Not on purpose.
Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust.
click the link and check out the slide show. The guy took loads of photos.
If you're trying to establish an alibi because you murdered someone or knocked over a bank, then spending the amount of time to make a photoshopped pic look not photoshopped would be worth it. This is not worth that kind of effort. If the lighting is disconcerting to you, it's the flash bouncing off the foreground, and not being strong enough to make it to the background.
But really you photoshop theorists should get it together w/ the Illuminati types. Perfect match
me-oww!
wow Miss Kitty are you dense or what? The sign itself is real and really is misspelled. Ok, that is number one. Number two is that the situation in which the picture of the sign was taken that was faked. Number three you can tell that dark haired woman that is really holding the sign is not there for the Tea Party because she has no bible or gun to cling to. Hell I bet she don't even have a truck. Failure of the progressive nature to be sure.
I never said it wasn't real. Reread, this time, for comprehension. Did you go to school in California or something?
me-oww!
no, you implied it by saying how it could not have been photoshopped.
Insisting something that isn't true, trying to tell ME what I meant. Really assholey of you, dude. Typical of the unprogressive, entropy inducing Thug nature, to be sure.
me-oww!
Your full of shit! Some public schools suck, but the districts around me all have fantastic schools.
These kids are learning in the 9th and 10th grades, what we didn't learn until college.
Maybe loud mouthed ignorants like you should keep your mouth shut about topics of which you obviously know nothing about.
Rush Limbaugh is what a smart person thinks a stupid bigot sounds like.
If I remember correctly the last time we had anything to say to each other it was you eating crow. Kids can still excel but I'm afraid it is the exception not the rule. No GWB, this is not me against you, this is me calling a spade a spade. Public schools as a whole fucking blow wet chunks. You can say I "obviously don't know anything" but what the hell you are just proving my point as I too went to public school. If we can't agree that something needs to be done about that we will never agree on anything.
You realize what being graded on achievement does if every child in the class doesn't come on a full stomach and without a night job? Or in our case, with a learning disability. They will do their best to make you leave public schools. Unintended side-effect. I had to homeschool my youngest because of this. We have a whole support network now for homeschooled special-needs kids in our area. Most, not all, but the vast majority are doing much better than in public. Mine will be starting college a year early.
Our current district is great, as long as you have no special needs. They served my oldest well. So no need to homeschool that one. The district may not stay great. We're currently fighting a new school board that wants to resegregate the schools. This will lead to only the schools in the nice neighborhoods getting full funding. The current plan spreads both the students and the funding out so all have good schools. So our schools may no stay great, unless you live in a subdivision with a golf course.
Other districts here are much worse. I can go two counties to my west and have schools I wouldn't send my dog too. I know, I graduated from one like them. Out of about 120 of us, 4 went on to college immediately. A couple others made it a decade later after military. That is the 120 or so that graduated. The drop-out rate was very high. You made more if you started in the mills at 16, not 18.
My high school teachers liked me, since I could read. The state was ranked 50th in the nation on education that year too. The building was deemed unfit, but not closed as there was no other building yet. As a result, the school was unaccredited and our public high school diplomas were not accepted as valid by some colleges. One more hurdle trying to go on to college.
Must be nice to have always lived in places rich enough to have good schools. I'm happy for you.
if you are talking to me you have the wrong impression. I went to a very poor school and so did my kids. When I said public school sucked I said that from down to the earth experience not from a high horse. Do you think that people that can afford private school are this passionate about the condition of education in public schools? My son did however go to UT Austin on a full academic scholarship from one of the worst schools in our city. That's the part where I said that students can still excel.
at least the indentation nesting on my browser, shows I was replying to NoGWB.
Excellent on your son though! The status of my public highschool, and the fact that to take math as a junior, I had to go to the local college for the class meant I got no scholarships. Non-accredited high school + technically a transfer student = not eligible for scholarships. I did get an advanced degree though. Just had to work three jobs while I went to college. So yes, it can be done.
I agree with you on your implied statement that the "people that can afford private" don't care, but only as a generalization. We could afford it now, but care. We chose to homeschool to preserve our savings for the youngest for his college. Since he does seem capable of it (that was uncertain for a while with his disabilities), we're feeling better about that now. I have fought vouchers here, even when I would have benefited from it immensely personally. But both my husband and I have seen extreme poverty. (In Appalachia first hand for me, he second-hand growing up in Central America).
However, sometimes the non-rich don't care. The schools in their areas have been so broken for so long, they don't see fixing them as an option. Many of my relatives in/around NOLA would be in that boat. Church co-op schools or homeschool are the only option there if you can't afford private (many of the pricy ones are also church-run). Sadly, for many in that area, they no longer care about the slice of humanity that has no option but public schools in that area.
We HAD the best schools, public or NOT, in the WORLD UNTIL the right wing religious wackos got their feet in the door and started their campaign to eliminate INTELLIGENCE among the population.
"maybe he would know how to spell school if he actually went to a REAL SCHOOL"
Generally home-schooling is much better than going through the public school system. The best experience a student can expect, and this is generally speaking, is to be trained to pass their end-of-year exams.
Inside the public school system I enjoyed such things as going through entire semesters where we had no teacher whatsoever and sat on our hands. Pointless subjects meant to eat up time, classes where we just filled out the same paper work every day, hell I even got to pretty much teach some of the classes. Oh and listened to some of our insane and inadequate teachers flip-out, and dealt with other nasty kids because there wasn't any real adult watching the 'class'. Fun fun fun.
Topping it all off, home-schooled kids do much better academically and professionally than those from the public school system. They get preferential treatment because their education is generally known to be complete.
You cherry-pick the worst possible example of a public school experience, then contrast it with a rosy-eyed view of home schooling in which all home-schooled kids get a "complete" education.
What hooey! Few public schools are as bad as you describe, and an awful lot of home-schooled kids receive an incomplete education, heavy on fundamentalist Christianity and light on math and science (evolution, anyone? Climate change?). Your simplistic, black-and-white view lacks the subtlety and nuance necessary to capture the true situation.
I'm sorry, but your argument is illogical and fallacious, and does not speak well of whatever education you may have received in critical thinking.
from the years I have been inside the public school system. Those examples are in fact reflective of the entire experience I have had with them personally, and of others. You know, the whole "public" part.
You are trying to malign homeschooling by cherry picking individual (christian) households that make up a small portion of the home-schooling community.
Reality is that the public education system is, generally, very poor. That even the so-called cherry-picked experiences I had even could happen is a very serious flaw of the system.
perry is another neoCON hypocrite. he raised taxes and tries to pretend he did not. he's also putting the stimulus dough to use that he was so against.
As long as he didn't raise Mark Cuban's taxes, it's all good.
me-oww!
That photo should be presented as evidence for reason to explore the effectiveness of home schooling.
"Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob"
-= Franklin Delano Roosevelt =-
I have no doubt that you have to be retarded to support that snake Perry. But I showed that photo around and there's already charges it is a photoshop.
I feel sorry for the kids in that house if they are a product of that quality of home schooling.
were also probably photoshopped...wait a minute. Somethings you cannot live down. This is one of them.
If it isn't obvious, I need someone to point stuff out that proves photoshopping, or I don't believe it. Especially in cases like this.
me-oww!
It does not have to be photoshopped to be a fake. I can go to a rally and hold up a sign that says anything I want, at least until someone realizes what I am doing.
look at the handwriting. it's too mature and strongly stylized.
Some stuff you can't make up!
parents write signs for kids to carry at those things all the time
And my mom, catholic school educated had the same handwriting at the age of 10-11 as she did as an adult, and it was very mature and strongly stylised. Much more so than the example above.
me-oww!
...on the placard in the right of the frame. And notice the similarity in garb of the two sign-holders. That's mom on the right, I'll betchya.
Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust.
spelling was intentionally muffed or not, I would argue that taking a young, impressionable student to see PalinPerry in all their undiluted glory borders on child abuse...

In fact if you look real close the kid is not even holding the sign, a third hand with black garb is holding the sign in front of the boy in a dastardly deed gone horrible ary.
mother/teacher/big sister/guardian/pay date for the gala/etc. She was probably using her superior height to get her handiwork thrust for Palin to admire. Even misspelled, that is likely closer than she could get it.

Those of you not in Texas aren't seeing at the "...for Texas governor" ads between every video here on C&L.
The Republican primary is in March, and the advertising war between Perry & Hutchinson is getting quite nasty.
Video of Hutchinson claiming, "I'd never give ANYONE a blank check for $700 Billion dollars! Not even Ronald Reagan." Followed by footage of her saying "Aye" to the 2008 $750B bailout the very next day.
And KBH ads slamming Perry for wanting to hand over our highways to a foreign company that wants to turn them all into toll roads; and a litany of newspaper clippings going back ten years questioning Perry's cozy links to lobbiests and all the money changing hands between them.
I just LOVE watching Republicans rip each other to shreds. :)

That's what is going to get him re-elected btw, not everyone here is a big fan of the current administration like you guys......or like you used to be. I'm running out of people that like what's going on, to argue with.
And these are the dittiots who applauded the idea of instituting literacy tests as a bar to being allowed to vote. All of the evidence points to them being the ones to lose their voting privileges’ if such a test were really implemented (fairly).

they meant to write "Home Scholars for Perry". Nah.
WOW. Does anyone have any statistics on who the "average" teabagger is? Like, age, occupation, education levels, that might explain some of the fascination with PALIN and her empty headed nonsense.
... Tea Partiers, regressives, reich-wingers, supply-siders, religious fanatics, Ayn Rand disciples, gun nuts, sexists, racists, CON-servatives and most Republicans. Did I leave out anybody?
Yours for literacy, elitism and condescension,

We had a kid that lived next door to us that was being home schooled. He was about twelve. He once asked me if "D-Day" was real. Honest to God. I told him that it was indeed real. He had seen "Band of Brothers" on HBO. I guess that he thought it was just another TV show. I gave him one of Stephen Ambrose's books to borrow. His mother gave it back. She said that she didn't want him to know about the violence in the world. I told her that she wasn't doing him any favors by keeping him ignorant. They were "Born Agains."
The teabagger better hope they never get their wish for a literacy test, civics based or otherwise (at least one where the grader can't tell the race/ethnicity of the test taker). It would end their movement immediately as the vast majority couldn't pass it with mispelled crib notes written on the palms of their hands. They are truly a convention of village idiots.
PATHETIC!!!!!!!

I am a Democrat of the Democratic Party, and I do not agree with our Democratic Party representatives in Washington.
Many of us are now ashamed to be Democrats. More than that, we have come to fear our own Democratic Party. Hatred and corruption - the roots of socialism - are on the march as they have never been before, and leading this march is our Democratic Party. Increasingly, mainstream Democrats are uncomfortable with what they are seeing in our party. All the more, we know it is dangerous.
We as Democrats are marching in a parade with people Harry Truman or even Jack Kennedy would not recognize - socialist (also know as progressives) who think that Western civilization began in 1969. Strangely, without meaning to, we the mainstream Democrats find ourselves representing this socialist movement. However, for the "socialist" within our Democratic Party, there is nothing so strange about it. Socialists have always sought to leverage corruption for the sake of power.
Without doubt a large majority of our Democratic Party representatives in Washington are tainted by corruption, and the liberals among us are supporting the ideologies of progressives with their agendas based on moving our Nation deeper into a socialist form of government. This is a real threat to everything we hold sacred in America, and they are gaining evermore control over our Democratic Party, our Nation, and the American people.
As a result, our Democratic Party has already lost the equivalent of every member we have acquired over the past seven years or more, and many of them are now supporting the tea party. More importantly, a recent Newsweek cover declared, "We are all socialists now."
Meanwhile our middle-class families are looking for more than empty promises. They want to go back to work. And they want our Democratic Party representatives who run Washington to stop pursuing a big government, big spending agenda that includes a government takeover of health care, stimulus bills, a new national energy tax and taxpayer-funded bailouts.
In spite of everything our Democratic Party representatives in Washington will borrow $1.6 trillion this year, or about $15,000 for every household in the country. Over the next 10 years our federal government is expected to borrow an additional $8.5 trillion, and this is on top of the 12 trillion we currently owe. These figures are beyond being enormous, especially since we already pay one in seven dollars in interest.
Thank you, and God bless America
Eric Pearson, Democratic Party candidate for US Congress in the 5th district, Tennessee.
